I discovered this channel earlier this year and love it. I'm into diecast and collect Hot Wheels, Matchbox and other diecast. My wife saw me yelling "GO GO GO!" at my computer and asked what I was watching. I showed her and she watched some with me and she admitted that it was pretty exciting to watch. The commentary hands down makes it more entertaining for sure. Keep up the great work.

[@waynefarmer6966]

I watch your videos with my 1 year old. He gets excited every time there is a new "Broom". At the start of each race he says ready steady go and will shout go go go and do car noises. He laughs when there is a crash. Keep up the good work!

[@CraigS_427]

+1 for Slanman Customs! He does tons of R&D on parts before the design is finalized. Great start gates, curves, connectors, and all kinds of other stuff!

[@x-90]

Crash Racers are making an Oval NASCAR set and I think that’s the answer to the Straight/curves set, it’s gonna be like 4 straights and the regular 180 Degree turns. They debuted it in NY Toy Fair last year along with the Figure Eight

[@BeastRoverOfficial]

I’m getting the Road course one

[@Rearmostbean]

I have the crash racers from Target, it has a figure 8 style, so more turns. 4 straights, hot wheels track can clip into it

[@JasonPriesmeyer]

I agree- this 2020 season was by far my favorite for the "realism". Having the cars finish in a generally front-first manner is something I really prefer. Most of all, I love 3D's attention to detail and realism and really compliment him on the way this channel has progressed over the years. Thanks, 3D!

[@arladicey]

I was a child in the early 70s, a little girl who loved Hot Wheels, as much as her dolls! I had the Fat Track, along with many other Hot Wheels sets and accessories. The Fat Track was fun, but I remember having trouble with the connectors, especially when it came to the turns. Wish the idea of the popsicle sticks had come to me and my dad back in the day! Anyway, I am now in my 50s, and find that your racing videos have renewed my love for die-cast cars and racing. I watch them just for fun! I will be sharing these with my young nephew, now that he's reached the age to be into this, too. Your video production values are superb! Thanks for all you do to reawaken the kid in so many of us!

[@djfhhfjdjfb951]

You should make a mountain pass track, you can make the cars actually drift by using magnets. There’s some vids on KZbin of it

[@Tomtuga]

Myself being in the toy train hobby and volunteering at NY's largest HO train layout, it is great to see interest in building these tracks. Miniature layouts are kind of like a form of art and I was worried that new generations of kids would not try to get into this hobby. Use oldtimers are not going to be here forever and want to pass our knowledge of building this stuff on to you kids. Thanks to this channel I hope we get more kids involved.

[@ItsMeEbby]

My son and I watch all your videos and he really LOVES your tracks. Thanks for sharing all the info. I ordered 3 crash sets to build out own tracks and have races. Keep up the great work.

[@stockholm1752]

There are some other excellent die-cast racing channels out there, but let’s face it, nobody does it better than 3Dbotmaker. Thanks for all the fun, excitement, and distractions during this mad, mad year.

[@slapnpop826]

The car finishing backwards has always been a slight annoyance for me 🤣. Glad to see you guys working to improve the races. That’s why you are clearly the best at this.

[@Dev_L_Manix]

When I was a kid my dad worked for a firehose manufacturer. When they had defective hose he would bring it home and we would make a track out of it. Watching your videos reminds me of race days with my dad. Thank you for what you guys do and the joy you bring to people's lives.

[@Michael-im1vc]

So cool that you made this explanatory video, super helpful for those of us who are brand new to this hobby! The amount of work and effort yall put into this from track build/ design, video production/ editing, content creation etc is truly impressive! I'm a pretty serious person yet from the the race I watched I haven't stopped smiling. Thanks!

[@Tony1975uk]

I've only just found this channel in the last week, I can't tell you how invested in these races I've become!! I loved my cars when I was young, I'd make jumps and tracks from Beano and Dandy annuals. Then I was told that I was too old to be playing with toy cars. If I'd only known then that there was a community out there... Love your videos, you and 2D have me in stitches with your comments. Brilliant stuff.

[@djay6651]

As a Kid I had a sheet of 8x4 plywood, on which I drew a race track, put lines across and used a dice to move the cars......I spent Hours and Hours playing with it..... Imagination is your best tool.... :-))))))

[@nodsib]

Good call going to the two lane track, 2020 season has been incredible, 100x better than the older videos, and even those were fun to watch. Can’t believe this hasn’t blown up more this year, I thought you’d be into the millions of subs by the end of the year, but it’ll definitely happen if you keep up the quality of work you are doing. Great job!

[@curtrowland5874]

Thank you for your content. Its very inspiring in terms of picking up a hobby. Me(50) and my dad(70) have been out in the garage setting up a run like yours and it is not easy. But thats what is fun about it. Having to troubleshoot what is happening, asking if cars are going to fast or to slow a adjusting the decline as needed. I to have lots of spinners and backwards finishers. I did not know about that 3rd track option but we may be looking into it. Thanks again and say hey and thanks to 2d as well.

[@777Brad]

The track that you're using right now really seems to be the best out there. I agree that it gives a more realistic experience since the cars track straighter and spin out less frequently. I can't believe how much time I spend as a grown adult man watching your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@mrtrendizzle]

If you get M8 bolt slightly larger than your corrugated plastic track and fit a row of bearings to the bolt you can heat the plastic and use the bearings to press down gently and roll along the track. This will inset the plastic between the reinforced grooves giving the DIY track the same grooves as the old wide track. If you DIY yourself a stand for the bearings (Think sheet metal roller) you can heat the plastic and slide it through the rollers allowing you to speed up the process of creating each track with grooves.

[@archiebunker6059]

You got the best races I've seen on youtube so far, great work and really enjoy your show 👍

[@Camecol21]

Great work. I agree that your 2020 two-lane track was way more realistic and exciting racing. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Your scenery is very well done man esspecially the rally track that looked awesome.

[@jameslocopo4742]

I had figured that one of them had to be the fat track as I remember my California 500 set with then lap counter shown in the video quite fondly. And I also remember those curves being a pain to both put together and keep together. It was suggested to use a rubber band in the back of the curved pieces to help keep them in place.

[@jerrybailey5797]

Thats great 3D . Your track layout is fantastic , looking forwards for more KOTM and the DRC racing 🏁 👍

[@Smale321]

We used to build some sort of track in the garden with the garden chairs, boxes, leftover pavement bricks to support old roof drainage pieces when I was still a kidd (almost 30 years ago). The pieces were just taped together but it was a lot of fun! We sometimes even made a less steep track that we filled with water with the water spout for little boats!

[@christiansantiago3007]

[@lauriehwrdlh]

I built a small track for my kids out of a long piece of cardboard and used bamboo sticks as reinforcement which double up as barriers/curbs. We painted it all up looks great and is easy enough to pack away when they are finished racing. To add a little bit of chaos we have a lane merge near the end to drive the car together over the line. Just need to make a bigger one next time.

[@H3zzard]

Useful! And it's good to hear you recommending Slanman Customs too - I've heard some good things, but getting the 3DBotMaker seal of approval is even better. One day I'll finish procrastinating and start work on my own track...

[@aFewBitsShort]

I made a base out of corrugated cardboard and hot glue. If you glue 2 sheets of corrugated cardboard with one sheet flipped 90 degrees it's very strong as corrugations are running vertical and horizontal. For my track I cut up some file folder covers. The track is currently in pieces while I paper mache the landscape but if you want to see it in action prior to landscaping I uploaded a couple of 10 sec vids to my personal channel and happy to answer any questions.

[@mikep3813]

I broke out an old "Daytona 500" track (not sure who made it) for the same kind of rechargeable cars (came with Kyle Petty hot wheels car and Bill Elliott McDonald's car) from when I was a kid in the early 90's and the pieces all fit with the crash racers set that I bought this past spring seamlessly. The straight pieces are the same exact width and length, just black instead of grey. The track was two long straights with two 180° turns and had a pit stall on each straight and you could redirect the car in to recharge and get back on the track with never having to pick up the car off the track. Brought back so many great memories! Thanks for the inside info 3d, great to see behind the scenes a little!

I had a Sizzlers car long, long ago (1971 - when they were brand new) and it had an 'accessory' that made it even more fun - the 'Mouse Mustache.' We used to take out set of encyclopedias and create a racetrack and the cars would bounce off the books and each other in all sorts of crazy ways!

The crash racer sets as is are awesome and the possibilities are endless with it. The cars that come with it work amazing with regular hot wheels tracks.

[@douiejordan7990]

Thanks, I really enjoy watching the Tournaments. I've come up with a idea I haven't started yet but looks good. It is using vynal eve facial it perfect for 4 cars wide and has the lines to keep the wheels in. I think I can even get it smaller for 2 cars wide. Only thing is finding some way of making the curves. Man when I was a kid, between me my brother and cousins we had tons of the Sizzler track. We all got them for Christmas every year lol. We take out in the sandboxes and dirt broke or lost them.

[@TheValKBawz]

Have you ever considered (reasonably well-sanded) hardwood or linoleum flooring as a track surface? These plastic tracks seem to be extremely slippery, accelerating the loss of traction. You could also putty & sand the connections on your fixed buildups, keeping cars from getting ejected by a bad guardrail joint.
